How to mount it

General presentation illustration. Bait shape and hook placement vary with hook size and bait condition.

1Select a bait size that matches the hook and intended presentation.
2For a whole sandeel, gently thread the hook through the mouth and along the body.
3Bring the hook point out through the side so the bait lies straight.
4Secure delicate bait with a few loose turns of bait elastic, leaving the point exposed.
